My comment published in " Watching America " on November 24, 2014 : " The Day John F. Kennedy Was Assassinated "

Ron Ruggieri November 24, 2014 at 7:38 pm I am a citizen of the United States and a registered Democrat in the state of Rhode Island, but more of a democratic Socialist. I note that the above commentary was posted on November 22, a very meaningful day here in America : The Day John F. Kennedy Was Assassinated . The JFK era also was ” Interesting Times in America “. The country was more optimistic back then, more idealistic. I think JFK shared FDR’s compassion for the poor. And his brother Robert-also assassinated – called poverty in America ” unacceptable.” The above commentary asks : ” Is the United States a democracy for the rich only, without the poor ? ” JFK said if we cannot help the many who are poor, we certainly can’t save the few who are rich “. Today I fear Ralph Nader is right about both Democrat and Republican parties being controlled by corporate America- the infamous ” ONE PERCENT “. I think MASS ACTION can transform the now decayed Democrat Party back into the socially progressive party of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. Passionate reform is, of course, preferable to ugly-but inevitable- class struggle. It might be a good time for third parties here, progressive, liberal, socialist. Best wishes to all, from America.
